Does Anyone else feel like their account is cursed?

I’ve been playing MCOC for some 4-5 years, constantly. And I’m not a big spender but I do put some money into it to help push my account here and there, but over the last couple years I feel like it’s impossible to get things done, between the lag input and parry/dexterity bug I can’t push for thronebreaker, because I just die constantly and I just don’t seem to have the champs “necessary” to help make things easier.
Now champion pulls in crystals… My account is cursed. I just non-stop pull the same champions over.. and over.. and over.. be it 5 stars or even 6 stars! If I spin a Crystal, it’s a dupe of a champ I don’t play, if I pop open a Crystal, BAM! Dupe of a champ I don’t play 100% guaranteed!
Did I just open a 5 star Crystal and get Wolverine X-23 and then open a Grandmaster Crystal and get 5 star X-23 AGAIN immediately after? Yep!
My last 6 star pull was Drax (for the first dupe!)
My 6 star pull a week later? Also Drax.
Am I cursed to just never pull new exciting champs?
My 6 star roster isn’t even that big to be duping the same champs like this, I just want some new champions that I will actually play is that so hard?
This repeated opening and duping nothing champs that don’t help my roster is burning me out, there isn’t an incentive for me to keep playing when every month is just disappointing.

It just is what it is with the game
It’s RNGed.
I did not have AA or Iceman above a 4* until the end of last year. Then in a matter of 2 weeks got them both as both 5* and 6*.
That is just the nature of the casino ride we are all on. Hang in there. Also, as suggested above show us who you have and we can help suggest a path to TB.
If you think your account is cursed, here's my advice. Start a journal, and start recording *all* your crystal openings. At least the ones that can drop high tier champs. Are you actually opening nothing but bad champs, or does it just seem like it?
Here are all of my current featured 6* openings, in order:
1. Cable (sigs)
2. Old Man Logan (new)
3. Taskmaster (awakening)
4. Sersi (new)
5. Kitty Pryde (new)
6. Hit Monkey (sigs)
7. Wasp (sigs)
8. Old Man Logan (awakening)
9. Emma Frost (new)
10. Ikaris (new)
11. Punisher 2099 (awakening)
12. Sersi (awakening)
Is that good or bad? I think some people would think it was not good. Other people would think it is great. I think it is decent. Kitty of course, and Emma is solid. But I will bet a lot of people would think they were in a long drought after Kitty: seven pulls they would classify as "not useful to them." The only way to actually know how good the pulls actually were is to write them down so you can objectively look at them without fuzzy memory in the way. Sometimes, the act of keeping a record can make things look better than they seem with selective memory.
@SpideyFunko can vouch for it
Tried to complensate by doing endless hours upon hours of arena grind for feat champs - and I succeded in getting them several times - but it almost drove me to insanity (and cost way more money, than I ever thought I would use on a mobile game).
It was so depressing that I stopped recording my drops, and focusing on how unlikely my drops are... And yeah; they still suck, but I dont care anymore. Game is dying anyways...
2. It is RNG and your experiences for "useless" champs happen to people with those "unlikely drops.
3. Game is not dying.
I think we can Agree on that 4s champs are better than 2s champs. My highest streak of not getting a single 4s champ from phc is around 300 crystals.
The measures I used to cathegorize a champ as good or bad was Seatin, Lagacy and other sources
The PHC now has about a 3% chance to drop either a 4* champ or a 4* Nexus. At those odds the probability of going 300 crystals without either 4* drop are about 0.01% or about one in ten thousand. Every year, there are probably dozens of players that see this sort of streak. Another way to look at it, I currently have about 2600 unopened PHCs right now. If I opened all of them, the odds of seeing a 300 streak of no 4* drops would be about one in four.
Not what I would consider exceptionally unusual occurrences in either case.
I played the game for close to 2 years and never got a 4* from a PHC. I’ve also had some crazy great luck recently with 6*s, so it just is what it is.
